Search for Dog Killers
 
This is happening in my area, north mississipi. In the Alpine community of union county nine dogs have been found brutally killed. Some were duct taped with throats cut or feet and heads cut off. Some of my friends have lost their dogs. Do you all think this is a cult or another Jeffrey Dahmer?

Paumon 12/12/11 03:53 AM

It will be a psychopath doing stuff like that, not a cult.

fishhead 12/12/11 07:39 AM

It's someone practicing for the move to humans. The police had better take this seriously.

pancho 12/12/11 09:58 AM

I live in Ms. Nothing new except the way they were killed. Some people don't like dogs running free, some don't like dogs period. SSS is usually practiced. This looks like some kids. Might take a good look at some of the people finding these dogs. Sounds like someone forgot the last S.

Sounds like a budding sociopath to me...

I was at an auction just two weeks ago. Just south of Jackson. They made an announcement that people were stealing dogs in the town I live in and using them for bait dogs. I know many of the people who stood up and said their family dogs were missing and blamed dog fighters. One dog I had seen run over when it tried to cross the interstate. Another died when it tried to eat road kill beside the road. Some were shot while chasing livestock.
One woman stood up and announced it certain people were looking for their dogs please come by her house and pick them up, they had been there about 2 weeks.
People like to blame others when they do not take care of their animals.

edcopp 12/12/11 10:35 AM

People who are too sorry to care for their dogs, do not deserve to have them.

I wonder how many of the missing dogs were properly in the care and control of their owners when they went missing? How many were just running loose?:coffee:

fishhead 12/12/11 11:36 AM

One time I found several dogs along a remote road through the woods. There was a pair of young labs, a brittany and one other. The labs were tossed over the bank together.

I wrote a letter in the local newspaper telling the scum that "we don't know who you are but we do know WHAT you are".

Probably some coward to chicken to talk face to face with the owner.

gean 12/12/11 12:38 PM

One lady was hanging clothes on the line and saw a man in a white car drive up, he tried to call her dogs to the road. The dogs that have been missing and killed so far are the ones that are loose on the owners property.

hippygirl 12/12/11 12:49 PM

Good Lord.

SERIOUSLY...what is to become of us as a species? Just what has to happen in someone's mind that would lead him/her to kill (man or beast) for no reason other than their own gratification?

emdeengee 12/12/11 12:55 PM

It is not a cult. It is very sick and disgusting people practicing and having fun. And not all are psychopaths. Could be your neigbour.

All law agencies and medical, veterinary and social services have made the connection between the abuse, torture and brutal killing of animals with human beings who go on to abuse, torture and brutally kill humans. They know if there is animal abuse in a home there is or will be human abuse. They know if there is human abuse in a home there is or will be animal abuse. It is only the general public who refuse to believe the connection. If your darling little kid is torturing the cat then you have a very, very serious problem incubating.

Did she call it in to LEO?

wendle 12/12/11 01:51 PM

No matter where the dogs came from or how well they were taken care of previously there is no good reason for that kind of abuse. Hopefully the police department will take this seriously before more dogs are abused, and or somebody's child ends up missing.

John Carter 12/12/11 06:07 PM

if dead dogs are showing up with their muzzells taped shut, that is a tel-tell sign of a dog fighter who is using the taped dog to train the fight dog.
They tape the dogs up so they cant fight and bite back. I worked a dog fighting ring undercover one summer when I was a detective back in the late 80's.
Its a brutal savage sport ran by soul-less people.

This is the PETA line. You've been had. The trouble isn't that what you said is often true, the trouble is that it isn't always true.

It's called a correlation. This is different than causation.

Right.
Peta has caused more animals to get killed, abused, and tortured than any other group in America. They are a "How To" group for animal abusers.

Another story that PETA puts out. Another one that has caused many dogs to be tortured and killed.

Why in the world would a dog fighter want to tape the others dog mouth shut. The normal pet dog does not have enough power in their jaws to do any damage anyway. Much like a pro basketball player tying the legs together of a kindergarden kid to practice basketball. Much like a nascar driver taking one tire off of the neighbors station wagon and racing it.

Dog fighters want the dogs to fight back. That way when they are in a real match the dog knows what to expect. They do not use pets dog as practice because that would make their dog completely useless when it came up against another match dog. Dogs will do the same thing in a match as they do in a roll. No one wants their match dog to think all competitors will have their mouth taped shut.

Sure PETA makes it all up. Except I still have nightmares about the crucified dogs I found on an inspection. What a surprise that was for the neighbours. Except it shouldn't have been a surprise if anyone had been paying attention to the state of the kids.

RebelDigger 12/12/11 07:31 PM

Wow! I had not heard that, I live in Dumas community in Tippah County fairly close to Alpine too. Right now our Annie (mixed breed, dad is a great pyrenes, mom is a black lab) is in the house full time, recovering from a broken hip but, we will be keeping a weather eye out on her when she recovers enough to go back to her chicken guard duties. Ya know, I have been wondering about the "accident" that broke her hip anyway. My granddaughter and Annie were walking from her Dad's (my son) trailor on our property up to the farmhouse where we were working on the renovations. Annie was about 20 feet in front of Victoria (granddaughter) and on the grass verge at the side of the road. The fellow who hit her actually crossed the road to do so then said he didn't see her. Was smiling when he said it and showed a total lack of remorse. Annie sustained cuts and scrapes and the broken hip, I am thanking God he hit Annie and not the granddaughter but, it was traumatic for Victoria since she and Annie are joined at the hip when she visits. What is wrong with people nowadays?

About 5 years ago they found 5 skinned dogs in two different counties not far from me. First was a group of three, one adult dog and two older puppies, second set 30 miles away two adult dogs. They determined that the dogs had been kicked to death, and that all 5 dogs were Shetland Sheepdogs. They had been skinned in the manner that one would do a deer, with some skill. Never heard about it again, although they tried to find the culprits. Shelties are little harmless gentle dogs, can't imagine someone deriving pleasure from kicking one to death, let alone 5. Nothing surprizes me anymore though, so many sick twisted people out there.

No, they don't "make it all up", they take a grain of truth and they run with it, like all master propagandists.

OkieDavid 12/12/11 10:32 PM

Sounds like some sicko. A neighbor tired of old Sparky digging in the flower bed may very well SSS with a 22 and dump in the country. Can't see said neighbor slitting a throat (that's too gruesome for just eliminating a pest dog). Don't think it's cultish.... You probably would never find the dog as those tend to be closely held and very discrete operations. Multiple dogs (over a period of time?) Doesn't sound like rowdy kids fooling around...... Sounds like a single soon to be very dangerous person...

Years ago some fur buyers would buy dog skins just like other skins.
Probably more than a few dogs went to fur buyers.

gean 12/12/11 11:08 PM

Fishhead, She did report to the LEO.

I think you see more of that kind of thing happening in the fur industry in Asian countries than in North America. However, dogskin is a favoured skin for drumheads in North America so I wouldn't be surprised if that was what those dogs' skins were taken for.

RebelDigger, Sorry your Annie was hurt. Please be careful county road 150 and 163 near Dumas are some of the places with missing or dead dogs. A friend of mine lost her little pom and weiner dog, another friend lost 2 young mixed pits, one was crippled and a little pom. Just last monday another man lost 2 young shelties. All these were on county road 171.

We are down the road from the old Hayes Saw Mill about a mile and a half from Pine Grove School so we are close to both ends it appears. Our neighbor up the road lost a rottwieller a few weeks ago. Now I am getting suspicious. We have started tying Annie out for a couple of hours each day so she can get some fresh air but still be immobilized somewhat (vet said for broken hip nothing to do but keep her as still as possible while it heals), thank goodness for the guienas, anything comes close and they raise the alarm. What worries me is the thought that someone who is sick enough to do stuff like that is running loose around here. We moved here from "downtown" Blue Mountain for the peace and quiet but this ain't it! Guess the fox eating the chickens isn't the only reason I need to keep the shotgun by the door!

fishhead 12/13/11 03:23 PM

SSS can be used for other "varmits" too. I hope they get caught by someone with a gun and a shovel.

Jena 12/13/11 09:56 PM

There used to be people who would go steal pets then sell them for experiments. Beagles were in demand, as well as large breeds. I don't know if this still goes on, but it was a big problem in some areas in the past.
